I was trying to use Update Manager after installing this Fresh Linux install, I should preface this is my first time using Linux Mint 14 KDE and the first time I've installed it on a Hard Drive partition, and when I tried to update this I got the following list of missing or broken repos.

Do I need to change the repose to Quantal or locate these repos somewhere else?I'm on a 64-bit computer and using the 64-bit distro of this flavor of Mint.

It will show all your active repositories. Any that have "ubuntu", "medibuntu", "canonical", or "launchpad" in their name should indeed have quantal as release name and not nadia. Only those with "linuxmint" in their name should have nadia.

If you know how to fix this, go ahead. Else please share the output of your inxi -r and we will help you through it.

Where can I find a list of exactly what should be valid entries in the repository for Linux Mint 14 KDE? I changed the Nadia references to Quantal but still am getting lots of can't find it errors. However, at least the update manager is now working. I want to cross check my installed listing with what should actually be there. Thanks.

OK, I'm new on this scene, but with the same problem. Upon first install, WIFI doesn't work. I knew that I needed the b43 driver for my Broadcom b4322 chipset. The 'Additional Drivers' Mint utility failed to get the driver. Following the instructions in the Mint known problems help, I enabled the local repository by uncommenting the line in/etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-repository.listI followed the instructions in the forum above, and changed referenced to nadia in the 3 files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ;sources.list, ubuntu.list and medibuntu.listto reference 'quantal' instead.Also in /etc/apt/sources.list changed the repositories that have 'linuxmint' in the line to reference 'quantal' and leave the others.

It will show all your active repositories. Any that have "ubuntu", "medibuntu", "canonical", or "launchpad" in their name should indeed have quantal as release name and not nadia. Only those with "linuxmint" in their name should have nadia.

Thank you for the above. I was able to clear the errors I was getting from the Update Manager as a result by doing the following: in the Update Manager applet, I went to Edit>Software Sources>Other Sources, then simply made edits as applicable per your directions.

I tried the http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=147271 but it did not work and when i wrote apt update onto the terminal it sais that: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/my system is up to date now but when i refresh the same error accurs.Thanks for help so far.What`s next?
